Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 752: Showing the Professor the World

 “What? You said you wanted to take leave?”

 In the office, Professor McGonagall looked at Kyle and thought for a moment that he had heard wrong.

"Yes." Kyle nodded and said, "About a month or two. During this period, I hope to be able to control my own time."

"Um..." Professor McGonagall frowned and did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, "Does Professor Sprout know about your request for leave?"

“I know.” Kyle said, “I went to Professor Sprout first, and she agreed, but she could only agree that I would not go to the herbal medicine class.

“And she also told me that if you want to take a long leave, you must get the principal’s signature.”

"That's true," said Professor McGonagall.

“But Professor Dumbledore has been away from school recently.” Kyle shrugged, “So I have no choice but to come here.”

 Because Dumbledore was too busy, Professor McGonagall, who was the vice-principal, was responsible for most things in the school. It was no problem to sign something.

Of course, it’s only for professors, not students.

“Ah, I may have to take an important make-up class during this period. Time is a bit tight, so I have to give up the main class.”

 Professor McGonagall took a few deep breaths.

 At a certain moment, she thought Kyle was under a high-level confusion spell.

 “Can you tell me why?”

 In her opinion, only the principal has the ability to give Kyle extra lessons.

 “Who did you say...?”

Although Professor McGonagall did not express her position clearly, she was more inclined to the latter...at least until she saw the crown.

“Rowena Ravenclaw.” Kyle said again: “Professor Dumbledore must have mentioned that Ravenclaw’s diadem is in the castle, and it also carries part of her memory.”

"Of course, I understand." Kyle said, "I'm in the castle and not going anywhere."

 The main reason is that there are too many people, and the content of the supplementary classes is mainly based on runes. In the entire school, there are probably not even fifty people who have taken the ancient runes class.

"I can agree to your request." Professor McGonagall looked at the application form that Kyle handed over, hesitated for a moment, signed his name on it, and said at the same time:

“But I must remind you that you cannot leave school even if you don’t go to class. Leaving school requires parents’ application, and students themselves cannot make the decision. This is non-negotiable, no matter how excellent your grades are.”

"Why?"

Professor McGonagall stood up immediately, but before she could walk out, she heard Kyle continue:

And among these fifty people, almost all of them could barely translate runes. Even if they went there, it would be useless. At most, they would just visit Hogwarts a thousand years ago.

"Who wants to give you extra lessons?" Professor McGonagall asked subconsciously: "Professor Dumbledore?"

"I met her yesterday." Kyle continued, "I did a small thing for Ms. Ravenclaw, and she arranged this make-up lesson to thank me."

Seeing that Professor McGonagall was still a little skeptical, Kyle said bluntly, "If you don't believe it, I can take you to the place where you take extra classes."

 “Of course,” Kyle said.

 There was no other way, so Professor McGonagall had no choice but to agree.

"Because the key is not with me, I can't get in now." Kyle spread his hands, "If the professor doesn't mind, how about after dinner."

Because of this incident, there were disagreements among several professors. Some believed Dumbledore's words, while others thought he was old and confused.

 “No, it’s Rowena Ravenclaw.”

 “But not now…”

Seeing that Kyle agreed, Professor McGonagall returned the application to Kyle and asked casually.

 She was so excited that she even broke the quill in her hand.

 But the person in front of her was Kyle, and she was a little shaken again.

 Professor McGonagall nodded stiffly.

Furthermore, Ravenclaw also said that the duration of the "cram school" is limited, and Kyle doesn't want to waste time on people visiting it.

Kyle said something in a very calm tone that almost made Professor McGonagall jump.

Because in the story told by Dumbledore, it was Kyle who brought the Ravenclaw Diadem back to Hogwarts.

"Well."

 A person who lived a thousand years ago not only came back to life, but also had to teach people... It must be impossible for any normal person to say such ridiculous things.

Kyle was not prepared to hide the fact that Ravenclaw had opened a "cram school" in the Room of Requirement from others, especially the professors at Hogwarts.

 “What did you say?” Professor McGonagall raised her head suddenly.

Dumbledore did say that in order to find the crown, several of their professors almost turned the castle upside down, but they never found it.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips tightly and asked, "Are you serious?"

She originally thought that Kyle wanted to stay in the library until graduation. After all, this situation was not uncommon at Hogwarts.

After Kyle left the office, Professor McGonagall looked at the homework in front of her and couldn't concentrate. Finally, she simply pushed them aside, stood up and walked towards the principal's office.

Everyone has the same goal, and even Ravenclaw himself doesn't mind. Why should he hide it? There is no need.

　　After the second half of the seventh grade for many students with excellent grades, it doesn’t matter whether they go to class or not. Going to the library to review by yourself is also a good option.

Although he knew that Dumbledore was unlikely to come back, Professor McGonagall still wanted to try his luck.

 The main thing is that this thing is so incredible that it is difficult for her to accept it in a short period of time.

Thousands of years ago, Rowena Ravenclaw returned to Hogwarts through her diadem and took the initiative to help a student with tutoring.

Every piece of news revealed by Kyle challenges her more than sixty years of knowledge, and is a great test of her sanity.

Professor McGonagall was eager to hear another person's opinion, and Dumbledore was the best person...perhaps he knew something.

But unfortunately, there was no one in the principal's office. Dumbledore was still out fighting Voldemort at the moment.

Professor McGonagall subconsciously wanted to write him a letter, but after some hesitation, she put away the unfolded parchment.

Professor McGonagall knew very well how dangerous it was to deal with Voldemort, and she did not want to disturb Dumbledore over something that was not confirmed.

 Isn’t it just dinner? She can wait.

 Professor McGonagall did not return to her office after leaving the principal's office. She must not be in the mood to correct homework now, so she could only spend time somewhere else.

Professor McGonagall thought for a while and walked straight towards the greenhouse on the outside field.

 …

 In this way, the time quickly came to the afternoon.

At about three o'clock, a door suddenly appeared in a corridor on the eighth floor of the castle.

This strange situation startled a passing third-year Gryffindor, and he subconsciously ran away.

 But when he returned here with his classmates ten minutes later and wanted to find out, the door magically disappeared again.

“I knew you were lying, Dennis.” One of them said loudly: “I have passed this corridor countless times. How can I not know if there is a hidden door?”

 “No, I didn’t.” Dennis Creevey stretched out his hand anxiously and gestured on the wall.

"It's right here. I saw it with my own eyes. There's a handle on the door."

 “Come on,” said the other, “that’s how you want to get Harry Potter’s attention…

 “But you succeeded, Potter is here.”

As he finished speaking, Harry ran over panting from a short distance away.

But it was no use, he still couldn't open the door to the Room of Requirement.

 …

Meanwhile, on the field by the Black Lake, Connor returned the raven knocker to Kyle. "Why did you come out so quickly?" Kyle asked.

"I don't understand." Kangna sighed and said truthfully: "It feels like listening to a more complicated ancient rune class. I can understand every word the professors say, but not all together. .

“By the way, Qiu didn’t understand. She said her head felt a little swollen and she had already gone back to the common room.”

 “Okay.” Kyle said, casually taking the raven knocker.

 That's why he said he didn't have the key.

Before going to Professor McGonagall to ask for leave, Kyle had already given the key to Connor and asked her to go to the Room of Requirement.

 After that, Kangna suggested calling Qiu.

Kyle didn't go with him because he was going to take leave, but he specifically repeated Ravenclaw's previous words to Connor, telling her not to insist on listening, so as not to conflict with what she had learned before.

 Then the scene in front of me happened.

Kanna has not studied magic texts in depth. Although she can barely understand those lessons, it is very difficult.

Let alone Qiu...Kyle remembered that the last time her head got swollen was when she took the ancient runes class for the first time.

  But this also shows from the side that not everyone can take those courses. After all, Qiu's results are considered to be among the best in the entire Ravenclaw.

"What about you?" Connor asked, "Has Professor McGonagall allowed you to take leave?"

"Of course." Kyle took out the application signed by Professor McGonagall, "Starting next week, I can stop going to class until the end of the school year."

While the two were chatting, they happened to see Professor McGonagall coming out of the greenhouse, and Professor Sprout next to her.

They returned to the castle in a hurry, as if there was something urgent.

Similarly, since Dumbledore stepped aside, Professor McGonagall is now in charge of everything in the school, so she will naturally be very busy.

This also made Kyle, who had just wanted to stop them, put down his hand.

He originally thought that since Connor had come out of the Room of Requirement in advance, he could take Professor McGonagall for a visit, but since she had something to do, he had to wait until the evening.

Kyle sat back down next to Connor, enjoying the cool breeze blowing from the black lake while listening to her talk about her experience in the Room of Requirement.

“I saw Helga Hufflepuff, and she looked exactly like the picture.”

“Also, there were really few people at that time, even less than the number of people in one grade now.”

 …

 For some unknown reason, dinner today was about half an hour earlier than usual. By the time Kyle got the news and hurried over from the venue, dinner was almost halfway through.

 He and Kangna quickly returned to the college table and had a few bites of food.

 The professors left the auditorium one after another after eating.

After Kyle went out, he immediately saw a row of professors standing at the door.

 Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, and except for Snape, who has been missing since yesterday, the remaining three deans have all arrived.

In addition, Bathcida Barbling from the ancient runes class is also included.

 After Kyle came out, they immediately looked over in order.

Kyle smacked his lips and asked, "Professor McGonagall, what are you..."

 “Everyone is very curious,” said Professor McGonagall, looking a little embarrassed.

 She originally just wanted to find someone to ask about the crown, but she didn't expect that she had revealed a lot of things unknowingly. When she realized it, everyone seemed to know the reason for Kyle's leave.

Who could not be curious about Rowena Ravenclaw's tutoring lessons, so they all came.

"Of course, this is also for your safety." Professor Sprout added.

 “It’s okay, come with me.”

Kyle didn’t care either.

 The professors present are all our own people and there are no moles, so you can safely take them with you.

So, the four professors and Kyle headed to the eighth floor.

 They attracted the attention of many people along the way, and they all speculated on what they were going to do.

 Some people followed quietly, preparing to collect first-hand intelligence.

 But Professor McGonagall just turned around and glanced around expressionlessly, and they gave up the idea instantly.

After reaching the eighth floor, Kyle skillfully turned a few turns and came to the middle of a corridor, placing the raven knocker on the wall.

 Then, in the shocked eyes of the professors, a door appeared out of thin air.

“Is there such a place in Hogwarts?” Professor Flitwick couldn’t help but ask.

  He has been a professor in school for decades, but he has never known this place.

 But no one answered his question.

 Because Kyle had opened the door and walked in, Professor McGonagall was the first to follow, followed by Professor Babling...

　　When they saw clearly the scene inside the door, they were shocked again.

That's the entrance hall of Hogwarts, with the Great Hall on the left and the stairs directly in front. Except for some decorations, everything else is exactly the same, even the students.

There is a Hogwarts inside Hogwarts?

 This makes them a little unbelievable.

 But professors are professors after all, and they are all people who have seen the world. They quickly calmed down again. At the same time, they also discovered the difference between this place and the school.

 Everything around is very new, it should be Hogwarts of another period.

"very impressive."

Professor Babuling put her hand on the wall next to her, squinted her eyes and whispered: "This place is simply built with magic words... Oh, and it is maintained by the magic of the castle... This is really a vast project, amazing!"

 Little wizards will inevitably produce some excess magic power in their daily lives or when using magic spells.

These magic powers are generated in the castle and fed back to the castle. For example, the paintings on the walls, the talking armor, and the rotating stairs rely on these magic powers to exist.

Of course, the same goes for the Room of Requirement.

 In other words, when there are no more students in the castle, the Room of Requirement will no longer exist.

"This is just the basics, the more magical ones are on the second floor." With that, Kyle walked up the stairs and took the professors to the classroom where he had previously taught.

It was also at this time that the professors understood what the so-called make-up lessons meant.

A professor they had never seen before was giving a serious lecture in the classroom. Even after noticing the person outside the door, he would scold him with a serious face:

“What are you doing standing outside? Don’t you know class is already in session?”

Several professors who have worked at Hogwarts for decades never imagined that one day they would be scolded in this tone.

 Just like they scold students who are late.

What was even more awkward was that they didn't know how to refute. Among them, Professor Flitwick walked in subconsciously. He could tell that this was a Charms class.

 “This is all Rowena Ravenclaw’s doing?” asked Professor McGonagall.

"Yes." Kyle nodded and said, "This is the school in her memory, Hogwarts a thousand years ago. I can study here for a while."

This time, Professor McGonagall believed it.

Using memory to create a real world, this is an incredible thing that not even Dumbledore can do...probably only the Big Four can do it.

Thinking of this, the remaining three professors looked at each other, then dispersed in a tacit understanding, and began to search for something in each classroom.

"It was agreed for my safety." Kyle, who was abandoned on the spot, twitched the corner of his mouth and really didn't know what to say.

But he also thought that this would be the case, shrugged and walked into a classroom casually.

The most amazing thing is that even though he had spent a long time outside with the professors, when he came in, the class in the classroom had just begun and the content was not left behind at all.
